In 2001, Julia Child entrusted the National Museum of American History with her beloved home kitchen where she had tested recipes, cooked with friends and family, and welcomed guest chefs and viewers for her last three television programs in the 1990s. Our curators, Paula Johnson, curator and project director of the American Food History Project, Steve Velasquez, curator in the Division of Cultural and Community Life, and Dr. Theresa McCulla, curator of brewing history, take us behind-the-scenes of collecting the kitchen from Julia’s home in Cambridge, Mass., and the ongoing exhibition and care of the collection.
